Environmental Permit Application for Waste Oil Processing
Facility
The
Environmental Permitting Regulations are a relatively new
piece of legislation which is rapidly changing the way the Government Control
Industry Based Pollution in the UK. The EPR regulation are administered and
enforced by the Environment Agency.
SWEL were approached by a
company based in the south of England who were in the steps of applying
for a
Environmental Permit.
It was also requested that associated documentation for the operation of
the facility was prepared including various Operational Documents and
Management Plans.
A requirement of the permit was secondary containment of all vessels
holding oil. Replacement of existing tanks with bunded tanks were
suggested by the EA which would have meant a considerable Capital
Outlay.
A particular success was the a practical suggestion made by SWEL to bund
the building the tanks were housed in, as this proved much more cost
effective.
The site has been operating successfully under its new permit for some
time.
